Good post except for your concept of "preaching". I'm not exactly sure what it is. Perhaps you could state how one would go about giving an example of not getting cancer, heart trouble, diabetes, arthritis etc.. Youngsters can observe adults eating healthy foods but they may not know the prupose unless they are told. If you tell people what will happen if they continue eating this or that, is that preaching? Was your post preaching?

Sounds like an opinion from someone who has cravings for unhealthy foods. I'm happy to say I don't have such cravings. From my experience, whenever you have "treats" you reinforce the need for more in the future. And that sets up a self destructive existence.
